Press Reviews "As off-beat as it is welcome, Grass' exceptional traditional sound is well excecuted and thoroughly believable" - George Fletcher, Rhythm and News Magazine"Their rootsy, denim music tastes like a ten-stack of of flapjacks on a Sunday morning. Grass is a Hudson Valley based acoustic roots band with all the fixin's: traditional foot-stomping tunes, mountain ballads, and a shot glass full of rock and roll. ... Their latest release, "Guns and Money" is a simultaneous ode to the days of yore and a tip of the hat to tomorrow." - Reno Bo, Rhythm and News Magazine"With the help of a simple philosophy of fun, Grass is taking bluegrass music to the next level" -Rand Otten, Poughkeepsie Journal"With one heart, one soul, eight hands and four voices, Grass delivers sweet harmonies, hot licks, and a sound that exemplifies what the younger generation is doing in bluegrass today." - The Chronogram
